Buddah / Buddha / Buddhism
Historical founder of Buddhism, Guatama Siddhartha, who was born circa
581-501 BC as the first son of King Suddhodna, whose capital city of Kapilavastu
was located in what is now Nepal. At the age of twenty-nine, he left his
fathers palace and his wife and child in search of the meaning of
existence. One morning at the age of thirty five, he realized enlightenment
while practicing meditation seated beneath the Bodhi tree. Thereafter,
he spent the next forty five years, until his death at the age of eighty,
expounding his teachings in order that all sentient beings might realize
the same enlightenment that he had. Nowadays, the term a Buddha
denotes anyone who has realized enlightenment, while The Buddha
refers to the historical Buddha, Sakyamuni. Buddhas naturally
refers to all enlightened beings. (from The Seekers Glossary
of Buddhism).
